The personal trimmer fakes me out
Friday, December 14, 2007 
I own one of those little personal trimmers, hey... if you're starting to get old like me, you need one of these for your ears. Either that, or I have a bit of gnome DNA in me. Anyway, after driving home in the Boston blizzard I parked in the garage and shut my car off. And a motor continued to run, seemingly from inside the door.
Crap I thought... a motor is going to burn out or the motor is going to run my battery down. I searched and search, turning the car on and off, raising and lowering my window, checking the powered side-view mirrors, etc. For twenty minutes. I actually thought about taking it to a garage to have it checked out.
Then I checked the side door pocket compartment and there was the personal trimmer running, the switch must have been thrown somehow as it jostled around during the drive. Stupid story, but one of life's little gotchas.
